Hundepraxis - der PodcastUnerkannte Schmerzen bei Hunden - Wie du sie bemerkst!
Hunde sind nicht als Lebewesen auf die Welt gekommen, die zeigen, dass sie Schmerzen haben. Durchhalten und mithalten sind einfach (zumindest bei einigen sicherlich auch in Abhängigkeit von der Rasse) wichtigere Eigenschaften für einen Beutegreifer.
Doch fragt man sich doch, ob man nicht schon früher etwas hätte merken können, wenn auf einmal der Knall da ist und der Bewegungsapparat des geliebten Hundes Unterstützung braucht.
Nicht selten erlebt Susanne Schmitt aber auch, dass nach der Behandlung von Veränderungen berichtet wird, die erst einmal so gar nicht aufgefallen waren.

Go Get Great1. Parenting and Leadership - They're basically the same thing! With Kristina SchmittAs mothers, we are comfortable with the everyday juggling of multiple hats: chef, cleaner, taxi driver, teacher and so on. We routinely manage our day-to-day lives without batting an eye yet suddenly face anxiety and uncertainty when we consider taking up many hats for business purposes: social media manager, accountant or sales director perhaps? These roles can all require significant guidance and direction which may seem daunting at first glance. It's time to acknowledge that parenting and leadership have a lot in common. Running a business is very similar to running a household. You need a routine...2023-03-2142 min

Hundepraxis - der PodcastMythen in der Hundeernährung - Dr. Stephanie Schmitt
Dr. Stephanie Schmitt ist Fachtierärztin für Tierernährung.
Sie bietet methodenunabhängige Ernährungsberatung für Kleintiere an, unabhängig von Alter & Gesundheitszustand.
Über das ein oder andere Gerücht habe ich mich mit ihr unterhalten und dabei gemerkt, dass ihre bewusst provokativen Instabeiträge einfach ihre wahre Berechtigung haben. Bei all den Meinungen die kursieren, fernab von Wissen einen klaren Kopf zu behalten und klare und wissenfundierte Beratung anzubieten, das ist wirklich ihr Ding.
Ein wirklich spannendes Gespräch und ich denke, es wird nicht unser einziges bleiben.
